We are not yet able to give our Readers any posi tive information respecting the reported Rupture of the NegociationS in America.. It appears to us, how ever, rather singular, that if an event of so much importance had occurred, MI. JACKSON. should not have immediately dispatched a vessel with the in telligence. It is strange that such an event should be first communicated to us through the medium of p Newspaper. On the other hand, the faa is posi tively stated in the. American Papers : they mention. that in the interview between Mr': JACK.SON and Mr' SMITH, the 'former stated that the dispatch of the 23d of January to Mr, ERSKINE, was the only dis patch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. ERSKINK for the conclusion of •an - arrangement Amerit2, that the Ainerican Government were zpprized of that circumstance, and that,they had, the:etOre, no right to accuse Great Britain for no t adhering to the arrangement made by Mr. ERSKINE) iince they knew that he was exceeding his instructions, Mr. SMITH' denied the faEt, and upon Mr. JACKSON'S persisting in his assertion, the Negociation was ab , raptly broken off by the American Government. — Such is the substance of the account given in the American Papers, and if it becorrea, certainly Mr, JACKSON has sr not outraged all decorum," as is in, sinuated itt one 'of the Opposition Papers of this, morning: The American Government has accused the British Miniiters for not adhering - to Mr. taskiNK's arrangement; it' was, therefore, ".most implant for Mr. JacKsoN to - shew, that when that arra tigemew.was concluded, the American Executive knew that Mr. EasKtNi was exceeding his powers , and That, consequently, Great Britain could pot be bonnd by an arrangement so made. It is impossi ble, however, to speak with any precision upon this subject, - nonl we are in possession of more authentic and detailed information than has'at present reached We cannot, however, quit this topic without tnadverting upon the eagerness which some of - the O: position Writers have already displayed to throW, all the blame of the rupture of the Negotiation (if that esent has really happened) upon Mr JACKSON, aiid of course Most patriotically to acquit the Ame lhey have not, indeed, ventured to, prefer a charge., in direa terms, against Mr. J A CKSON, but they have insinuated one - in the shape of a question iias Mr. ..lActc.sosr taken the contrary course to Mr; gx,s4me, and outraged all decorum, for fear o f baying over - civility imputed to him r Night no t tiie Writer, with just as much propriety, have asked Have pot Mr. SMITII and the American GoVern - Meta entered into this Negociation with a hostile spirit towards Great Britain, and have they not ea 'gerly seized at a pretext to break it off ?" We do t,ot say that this is the taa,.but it seems not pile fair, in absence of all authentic information, to take it. for granted that our Minister must be wrong, and pf course, that 'Mr. SMITH and Mr. MADDISON Mus t be r i g h t , ---We were, however, pleased' to observe 0)4 another Morning Paper, though hostile to the present Ministers, has discussed this question in a more candid manner, and has concluded by de fitiritig, that `f We as yet see no reason to blame Mr. JAcKsoisi." tiCarlS. It is reported, on the authority of private letters, th4t after• Mr.JACISON left Washington,a messenger was dispatched after hirn,by Mr. MADDISON, request ipg him to retqrn and resume the negociations. w think it right, however, to repeat, that Go puthentip !Jr official, information has reached thi s ountry, and the whole statement may be the result gf mistal t e, qr of interested misrepresentation. When puot;AFARTE aGbumeti the lido of Prjeain lOT c Viq were cgßvilice4 that II; 441 sot mean that it should be a'barren one, and , ai oor d. . isgly we. find that he has marched an army into that Country for the purpose of dissipating the fears and jealousies attemptedd - to .be spread among that gallant people: In other words, he, has taken possesiori of it as a cotzquered country, and will probably ma- aufgture , it into a - kingdom for his brother Louts. MATtrrz,. the Austrian iNiesSenger, reached Do.;, ver yesterday, but hacinot sailed when the Post canje away ; he was Waiting for the Secretary to the Ame rican Minister. We Mentioned a few days ago the arrival of-Coun t ... TRAMP in this Country, to whom the King of Den- - , mark had,cousigned the GoYernmetit of Iceland, in order to coniplain, of some British privateers, the crews of Which had taken possession of . that Island. Ministry, we understand, have paid•due attention to the representations 2f the . Count, and it is said that a Proclamation on the subjed will appear in the Ga zette of this evening. Yesterday morning, his MAJESTY, and Princesses 'AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Lady CRAN LEY, Generals SPRNOER and Frrittov, and Colonel TAYLOR, 'look 'their usual airing in Windsor Great Park, till'twelve o'clock, and, then returned to the Palace. At thiee O'clock his MAJESTY and PRIN CESSES visited Princes's AMELIA, in St. Alban's street, who we are happy to say,. is in a fair way of recovery: Mr. VAUqdAN, the Marquis of WELLESLEY'S Se cretary, tnet the PEI3SIAaI ADIBASSADOR at . the Inn, at Hartford Bridge. The Princess AMELIA is so much recovered within these few day, that' her Royal . Highness has been able to walk in the suite of rooms in the house where she is'conaned. ' , The Archbishop of CANTERBURY will go to Wind sor this day, to. dine with her MAJESTY and the PRINCEssEs. His Grace vvill•romain at Wind3or till after Clirist Inas-day. •1 • By the Treaty between France and Sweden, Po merania is said to have been - restored to the latter Power. The permission to import colonial produce was indispensable to . the Swedes, with Whom sugar is as .universal and essential,an article of culipary use as salt. It was necessary, moreover, that Russia and Prussia should be. supplied with:that and other, articles of colonial produce, which they can receive only'through theyaaliuru of Sweden:. , IriptA.-HOusn,—"Vesterday 'a, Court of 'Direaors. was heldpurposelY for the examination of Cadets educated at the Seminary of Dr. Andrew ; at Wool wich. Colonel attended. The young 'Gentle-, men were reported to have done great credit to their , Instrtiaor..—The ,Court adjourned at six o'clOok till WedpeSday nest. ' • " Of BUONAp . ARTE'S intention of declaring iiintself EMPERoR , of the WEST, a public av i owar was . made . in a Paper printed at Vienna, while that city Was in the occupation of .the French.. The' revival of CHARLEMAGNE'S Empire is openly announced, and " the expeCtations of the age can only be fulfilled by the appearance of NAPOLEON as Vranco-Roinan. Emperor and Lord of the West.%-And this, -with the atrocious impiety that forms a prominent feature 'of, his charaaer, he desires the world to hail as a . blessed Epiphany for Europe! !—The following- is the article to which we, allude : " When CHARLEM - AGNE. transferred. the Roman. Imperial dignity to the Franks,'. he thereby founded a new Empire of the West, which, after. centuries of oblivion, we see flourish again, like another Rome, in renovated vigour. ' To fulfil the expeaations-of the , age, it was necessary that the great NAPOLEON should make his appearance as the fohnder of a second Western Empire=NAroLßON, .as Fratico-Rotnan Emperor ,and Lord of the West, is a. blessed-manifestation for, civilized Europe. - The Franks ' Germans, and .110- mans, so , long ago, - united inn . like condition, will henceforth enjoy all the benefits of, their ancient confederacy, without again experiqncing.any of its disadvantages." . • •' TiteaTaE.—There has very seldom, we may venture to. say, been a more splendid and ap propriate representation till's') that.which marked toe . revival of , the Tragedy •of. Lear last night at ' Coveut-Garden Theatre. The house was . crowded, in all•parts, and the, audience appeared to.be highly gratified with the manner in which the, drama is brought forward, in point of, scenery; &c. as. well as with the general merit. 'of the ,performance:— ,K.eseßLE was a very , able and a verrimpressive, ,re prdsentative of the: atfectionate. but choleric 61(17 Monarch, it was.evident that he, had weighed every word belonging to,the part, with a view to the gene ral etrea of .each .seiitnuent. It was also-evident throughout • that lee. was .rather •.anxious to impress. upon his auditors the energy ( of -thee character;_ and all its intellectual - workings, -than to infifafe the imbecility. of age, which,,filterall; is but 'the me chanical part. of acting, ,and Which is within . the reach of ordinary powers. Ht did not, however, lose sight of the supposed age of the character, but proper: . ly conceived that it was of more importance to shell," - his temper, and convey his,meaning; than to exhibit ,a shaking baud and a tottering frame. ,Kzsffmrs's performance altogether wt. , „„ a masterly exeMpitfica tion of the text.. C. KEMELE , was very succssful in the personation of. Edgar. ;The transitions from real feeling to affected insanity were faithfully ma naged, and his general support of, the eharacter was just and chgnified. ,Miss BRISTOW was an interest ; ing representative of Cordelia. Regan and Goneril found good supporters in Mis. ST. LE GER and Mrs. liontPriftres, and CREsWOLL never appeared to so much advantage as in Kent, which be gave with charaaeristic bluntness, withobt afteaing a saucy rudeness." EVen the " roti Thunder" came in for its share of applause, and in deed the storm, in all its; varieties, was admirably . . _ managed. The excellent manner in which this fine Tragedy is revived, and the high merit of the performers, will, prOhably, ronder it attrac tive through, the season ; attd the Proprietors deserve no slight chtrimeow t ttion for the magnificent style in which they have thus revived one of .th'e very best acil . we4lcttt4 of OraMatic, geni% NAVAL NEWS.

An Inquest was taken last Tuesday at YilXief Barracks, by John Atkinson, Gent. Coronet for the' Hundred of Naisaburgh (officiating for Samuel Wells, Gene.) on view of the body of Jean Barthe -1 my 'coolie, a French prisoner of war, who, as het was endeavouring to make his escape dyer the paling of the prison, was fired at by the centinel on duty, and the ball' entering .hiS back, caused his death shortly afterwards.—Frotn the testimony of Gen.. Williams and others before the Jury; it appears, that oe late the behaviour of the prisoners has been most outrageous and insulting. Wi.ki3t the soldiera have evinced the greatest moderation and forbear. ante. On Saturday evening seven felons escaped. froth the county gaol -of Waterford, by removing two cross bars from one, of the loop-boles in the loweF celis ward, and scaling the walls by'tneans of a rope ladder thrown over by persons in Th o ma s ' s Another prisoner, who had just been the adt of ascending the ladder, when it' broke under him, was secured by, the gaoler. , Five of these fellows were some weeks .ago sent to the county from 'the city prison-, from which it was apprehended they would have escaped, .having several times attempted it; the other three belonged to the county. Fro m deliberate consideration of the faCts, a view of the prison since the escape, and the character of the keeper, little, if any blame, can be attached to hirn. • Ft&a,CorFEE.---;-Take one egg, crack it down, shell and all, 'mix up with your ground coffee, boil it and strain it off'; the liquor will be as clear and brilliant as wine (and no wage) ; it .will ex- hilarAte the spirits . , wherea s coffee not fined de-. prei.er. the spirits.'
